Viscosity Meters

Product Details:

Krebs Viscometer from Rhopoint Instruments offers high accuracy viscosity measurement with advanced functionality.

Viscosity measurement of coatings is essential at each stage of the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality standards.

Many parameters can affect the rheological behaviour of a finished coating resulting in undesirable affects such as sagging, levelling, brushability and atomisation. The use of high precision measuring instruments is therefore essential in quality control to prevent such problems occurring during formulation, manufacture and application.

GRAVURE
Ink is transferred from an electronically engraved printing plate directly onto the substrate, which is attached to the
rubber impression roller. Doctor blade and roller adjustments are made pneumatically allowing repeatable settings for future tests.

CLEANING
The essential job of cleaning various machine components following each proofing run has been simplified by careful
design. The illustration (left) shows the doctor blade being removed for cleaning. It can be seen that the printing
plate and impression roll are easily accessible for cleaning.
